    Revisiting which Supreme Court cases are actually the most important

    The article proposes evaluating the importance of U.S. Supreme Court cases by analyzing the number of amicus curiae briefs filed and refining this metric by considering the citation history of filers in past court opinions. It critiques the bias of raw brief counts toward civil rights cases and suggests weighting filers' reputations based on how often the court has cited them previously.
